Fact #1. A double boiler is designed to slowly and evenly heat foodstuffs that require gentle cooking. An example would be egg yolks that are used to make a thick sauce. Cooked too quickly or over too much heat, and the yolks will harden and become unusable. Another example would be cheese used to make fondue that might scorch if exposed to direct heat.
Fact #2. Most double boiler sets come with a lid. You'll seldom use it, however. Often the foods will require regular stirring, so using the lid is rather impractical. If you'll be preparing foods that can be left unstirred for periods of time, consider choosing a model that comes with a transparent glass lid. You can monitor the cooking process without releasing excess heat.
Fact #3. These items heat foods using steam instead of direct contact between a pot and a heat source. This is achieved by putting one to two inches of water in the larger lower pan. The water is then brought to a steady simmer. When the upper insert is nestled down into the pan, it's steadily and evenly warmed by the rising steam.
Fact #4. Price is a serious factor when choosing fine cooking tools. You can get a low-cost set for around twenty five dollars, or you can buy a high-end option for one hundred fifty dollars or more. The more expensive units tend to be more durable, easier to clean, and often more versatile.
Fact #5. Some people use these for melting wax or blending essential oils, which will then be used to make candles, skincare products, and so forth. While a double boiler's even, steady heat is ideal for these projects, just make sure not to use the same unit for food unless you clean it extremely well.
